Hello Brains Trust!
I am researching breeds for my friend. She recently lost her shi tzu x (rescue) unexpectedly. She initially said she would not get another dog, but now she and her husband think they need a new family member.
They are over 50 and family members are 4 cats, middle aged and elderly, a Poodle x middle aged (miniature) and a Lhasa Apso elderly.
They have grassy outside areas and the dogs and cats are free to roam in and outside the house. The dogs sleep with them in their bed.
My friend wants a Lhasa Apso, and her husband wants a Shi Tzu.
The Shi Tzu that passed was very yappy, and my friend has expressed that the household has been more peaceful since her passing.
The dogs are not walked much, but played with in the yard.
Both humans work full time and they go away alot but hire housesitters to care for the pets.
I would love to hear all your opinions for ANY breed you think may be suitable.
